FormatDogWorkspace
Turns a PDF into a real, editable .docx file — and keeps simple tables as real tables and your embedded images as real images, not just a wall of flattened text. Automatically detects, page by page, whether your PDF has real text or is actually a scanned image — using OCR only where genuinely needed, and telling you honestly which pages that applied to. Entirely in your browser.
No signup · No file limits · Files never leave your deviceWorks with both real-text and scanned PDFs.
Real text is used directly; OCR only runs where a page actually needs it. Simple tables and embedded images are kept, not flattened.
Get a real .docx file with working tables and images, plus an honest note on which pages used OCR.
Yes, but with an honest caveat: pages that already have real, embedded text convert with very high accuracy. Pages that are genuinely scanned images require OCR, which has real, well-known accuracy limits depending on scan quality, font, and skew. This tool automatically detects which is which, page by page, and tells you exactly which pages used OCR so you know where to double-check.
Not pixel-for-pixel — fonts, exact spacing, and precise page layout aren't cloned. But it's not just flattened text either: simple, clearly grid-aligned tables convert into real, editable Word tables (not text mashed together), and your embedded photos and figures come through as real images in the document. If your goal is editable content with its structure intact, rather than an exact visual copy, this gets you there.
Both, with an honest limit. Tables are detected by looking for text that's genuinely grid-aligned across several rows — when that's confidently the case, you get a real Word table with actual rows and columns. Looser or irregular layouts (a label/value pair, a numbered list) are left as plain text on purpose, since forcing those into a table would make them look worse, not better. Embedded images are extracted and placed in the document in their original order; very small decorative graphics (icons, rule lines) are skipped so they don't clutter the result.
No. Reading the PDF, running OCR when needed, and building the Word document all happen entirely inside your browser.
